When you have patients who have chronic or life-threatening illnesses, curative care may not be enough to ease their pain, manage their symptoms and put their minds at ease. With VITAS Palliative Care Solutions, you have a partner who can provide medical treatment, psychosocial support and spiritual counseling for your patients and boost their satisfaction.
Do you have patients who
- Experience unacceptable levels of pain?
- Need to be communicated with around the clock regarding care and treatment options?
- Frequently visit the emergency room for the same reason?
- Have been admitted to the hospital for the same diagnosis within the last 30 days, or have had a prolonged length of stay without improvement?
- Have been in an ICU setting without improvement?
- Have unmet emotional and spiritual needs related to their medical condition?
Referring to a Palliative Care Solutions physician is like referring to any other specialist. As the attending physician, you remain in control of your patient’s plan of care. The palliative care specialist supports you with a complementary plan that focuses on pain and symptom management, and will be readily available to answer questions from patients and their families.
